Build a wheelchair ramp for Itai in Tel Aviv
Itai uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇱 Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel91 views
Itai has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Itai can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair.
The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two.
The ramp has to meet the local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Itai's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Maayan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Prayagraj so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you
wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
